"I work at the Life Reaching Across to Life Center in Fremont, California. It is a peer-run center where everyone there including me and the center director is a mental health peer. I've been working there about 12 years. Many of the people who come to our center are on disability due to their serious mental health problems. When I first started working there, a number of the people were going into the a psychiatric hospital 3 or 4 or more times a year when they were having a mental health crisis.
About 2007 we started offering a WRAP planning group at our center. It meets once a week, going over the WRAP planning book and talking about wellness tools, daily maintenance, triggers, early warning signs, and what to do when things get worse. Since we have started WRAP, to the best of my recollection, there have been only 2 hospitalizations. When I ask people what it is that helps them to be more stable, they often mention their WRAP plans. Thank you so much for the work you have done in creating WRAP plans. You have helped people live richer lives, and have literally saved lives."
